check this out — I made HUNDREDS of wild fashions in linen and silk and other fine fabrics, and uploaded textures for hours upon hours, long hours into this project, all because it provides the average person without a buck to spare the opportunity to become a fashion designer, without having to put a single dollar out of pocket!
I have created hundreds of garments without paying a penny out of pocket, and it gives me a million-dollar inventory, deliverable and shippable — they’ll even drop-ship, although I wouldn’t go that route — you definitely want to inspect your purchase before sending it on to your valued customer.
You can autograph sign the garment while it’s there. Nobody does this stuff, nobody. What they do is, they print your fabric, which you can have made for you by the sheet or by the roll, and their cutter cuts your fabric to the pattern, then a seamstress sews it up for you.
In my book, that’s called a garment manufacturer — a “schmatta man”, meaning a garment maker — that’s Yiddish, so be squeamish about using the phrase in front of any supremacist you happen to have around the house.
You can get all sorts of “merch” made by cafe press, redbubble and zazzle, but here’s the thing — they all print only on one area, with a couple of exceptions on redbubble.
That’s not how you achieve stardom in the fashionista biz. What you do is what I did. You make a couple thousand samples up, and make them available to yourself to buy at wholesale, which in the case of PAOM, is above ordinary retail, but look at the fabrics they use, and every piece is handmade by a seamstress or seamster.
My point is that you have an entire factory at your disposal, at your beck and command, and all you need to do is upload a few dozen textile “tiles” and fit them to the garments, one at a time.
Yes, that is the catch. You design items one at a time. That’s good, because it gives you the opportunity to create uniques, things that nobody else can produce, with YOUR fabric designs printed on their fine linen, silk and other fine fabrics.
But the best part of Print All Over Me, PAOM, is that you print all over the thing, all sides, all angles are covered. It’s literally printed all over except the inside.
It’s a real garment, made in three dimensions, good from every angle, not just a stamped tee-shirt, hoodie, pullover or cell phone cover.
It’s an all-around printed all over it thing, and it’s real, and you can make it for FREE, until you sell it. You can even make and sell your own fabric made from your designs. Flat linen, flat silk. Oh, yes!
Of course, it’s hard to sell right off their site — I haven’t done much there, and wouldn’t count on it.
What you want to do is, buy ONE item from yourself at your wholesale price, which won’t be cheap, fair warning.
Now photograph the hell out of it, from every angle, preferably on a model, and put it up for sale at an outrageous price.
The average garment from PAOM is gonna cost ya around $160 to $400, so that cost would be your OPENING BID on eBay, see?
Then what you dreamed of getting in the most ideal conditions — that is, your fashions are featured in a famous Fifth Avenue boutique — that’d be your BUY IT NOW price.
I hope you’re getting this. Your opening bid is what you’d agree to take for it if pushed to the limit, and your buy it now is what you’d call the highest retail.
I’ll give you a link to my PAOM page, but you’ll have to figure out how to navigate around from there.
That link goes to just one page, one out of a total of seven. Did you see them all? So….whaddaya think??? Could you do it? Want help doing it?
One factor is how fast they can deliver. Oh, by the way, they’ll make (for a fee) a unique clothing tag just for you, to your specifications, and put that on the garment, instead of their own tag, if you prefer.
I really don’t care, so I’ll be using their tag for the time being. Later, that may change.
I reserve the right to learn as I go.
See You At The Top!!!
